Skiing and snowboarding guests are further encouraged to donate $1 to Susan B. Komen for the Cure when they purchase their Taos Ski Valley lift ticket(s).
After skiing and riding one of the country's top mountains throughout the day, guests are invited to enjoy outdoor music festivities, including DJ Oliver, starting at 4:30PM at the Resort Center. The Paint for Peaks Exhibit and Live Auction, and Silent Auction consisting of local business' services, accommodations, and special offerings starts at 6:00PM in the Martini Tree Bar.
